Date: Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 10:08 AM<br>Subject: Our Language in Your Hands: Mark Turin's new series on BBC Radio 4<br><br><br>Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
First of all, apologies for any cross-posting.<br>
<br>
I thought that you might be interested to know about a three-part series that I am presenting on BBC Radio on themes of language diversity, endangerment and policy that starts next week.<br>
<br>
The first episode, recorded in Nepal over the summer, airs from 11:00-11:30am GMT on Monday, 3 December, 2012 (6:00am US Eastern time). Alongside analogue and digital radio transmission in the UK, the programme will be streamed live online:<br>

<br>
The series has its own set of web pages on the BBC site:<br>

<br>
Episodes two and three cover the linguistic landscape of South Africa and New York City, and will be aired 11:00-11:30am on Monday 10 and Monday 17 December respectively.<br>
<br>
BBC Radio 4 staff assure me that the programmes will be archived as podcasts for the foreseeable future.<br>
<br>
All the very best, and feel free to send the message on to anyone you think may be interested,<br>
<br>
Mark<br>
